Given that in the states they are a lot more open about speed cams being there to raise revenue (The Rush made a post about one location that had a budget deficit and the response was a push to increase the number of tickets issued) it's not surprising that this was going to happen.

As much as I hate cameras, I cannot condone this, but I can also see that it was inevitable.

My fear is how long till something similar happens here ?

Very sad and very wrong!

Just like many battles, religions and other policies, the problem is with the few who roll out them out and control the information, not the many who have been duped or pressganged into fighting on the front lines.
